The objective of this effort is to study the seismic vulnerability of highways, tunnels, and bridges on the Federal-Aid highway system and other surface transportation system, and to develop and implement cost-effective methods to reduce such vulnerability. It is envisioned that this study will last approximately six years. The FHWA plans to negotiate a contract with the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER) Center [formally the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (NCEER) Center] at the University of New York at Buffalo. This is a Congressionally approved sole source study as TEA-21, Title V, Section 5001(c)(1)(B) requires the FHWA to conduct the program through MCEER. Posted 07/28/98 (D-SN229472). (0209)
